Kate Middleton reportedly made a cheeky remark about her husband’s beard during a public appearance at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day in 2024. Lip reader Nicola Hickling claimed that Kate and Sophie Wessex had a playful conversation about Prince William’s facial hair. When Sophie asked if Kate liked the beard, Kate responded, “I find it quite rousing,” while giggling.
They also discussed the shape of the beard, with Kate commenting it was “never quite rounded,” but Sophie assured her, “It’s a nice beard.” This light-hearted moment was captured ahead of the two minutes silence during the somber event.
Meanwhile, Prince William was later praised for his respectful interaction with a schoolboy who asked if he was the King, to which William humbly replied, “No, I’m his son.”
